Hi Martin, I agree SVG is the ideal world solution. However it would be nice if any graph/chart tool supported browsers with no additional plugins or add ons. This is the case for many real world users working in conservative environments, such as government departments, banks, and other big corportations.
Many users in these organisations don't have permissions to create a file on their local disk, let alone install browser plugins.

I know native browser support is just at the beginning but it is a solid specification. It's easy to embed in HTML, has a DOM representation and cross browser/platform compatibility seems good. Also it is easy to convert into other formats like PDF, which, when I think of charts, seems important for printable reports. Anyway, I think I'd prefer to create charts and stuff on the server side (what's the benefit to do it in the client?), but it might be great to have a qooxdoo API to manipulate SVG, hence supporting interactive charts. If anybody needs it, we have a trivial, incomplete but very usable Java API to create SVGs and a simple chart API sitting on top of it (both of which could probably be compiled into JS).
